[@daisymay4183]

First i see a fiery planet or fire ball. But i do see a side profile of a head with the swirling emotions inside of it. Love the glow of the orange and red. Love this one!!😊

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you Daisy for explaining what your interpretation is I appreciate it 🤩

[@AmaterianAngel]

Awesome colours. For me, I felt it looked like a stomach; filled with fire and all those swirling, gut wrenching feelings. The nervousness, the anxiety, but also excitement and that butterfly feeling you get with love.

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Beautiful creation, Mark. It looks like what I imagine a volcano would look like if you could peer down into it when it's erupting. I think the black background contributes to this imagery. Cool!

[@specialhandscreations2688]

I too saw a head, but in the middle and it was looking at one point like a big lion mane surrounding the center but then it changed in my thoughts and I began seeing the massive amounts of energy that we as humans give off to the universe. I'm just waking up so that might not be coming across as I mean it too but I think you get the idea. I absolutely love the light violet in there holding its own and not mixing or turning muddy. In the end...I love this piece! Thx for sharing Mark.👍🤗💙

Love this piece. I have two interpretations. The first reminds me of a human heart with all it's vessels, etc. The second thing this reminds me of is Hades and what it would look like and everything that is going on there. The colors are so perfect for both.

[@mattersofthehartbynat8815]

Another beautiful piece of art Mark; when you first said ‘it looks like a head’ I thought, that isn’t nearly chaotic enough to represent my mind!! LOL But, at the end of the pour, it did look more like the constant battle that goes on in my head! I’m rarely a fan of red, but it works so well in this piece.
